Half your list is flawed, and saying Favre tarnished his rep by going to the Vikings is a reach. He had arguably his best statistical season ever in 2009. If anything his stop at the Jets did more to hurt his rep.

I find it ironic how Gilbert Brown has such a legacy as a Packer and that is so important to keep, but the Packers actually snatched him from the Vikings.

To be fair, he made your active roster a grand total of 0 times. He was unwanted by the Vikings, not like they couldn't afford him, he showed up to camp too fat and they cut a 3rd round rookie. Almost kind of similar to the Javon Walker deal, there was very little to no Packer connection left when you guys signed him, we didn't want him and you guys were in a spot where you needed a WR quick. Obviously the Packers and fans still want Greg Jennings._________________

Let's get back more towards the topic, rather than nitpicking about whether someone has a relevant Packer or Viking connection or not. That really makes for uninteresting reading for most around here...and rather pointless._________________

I'm probably in the minority here, but I want to stay away from Jennings. He's almost 30, and his career has been on the downswing for a few years now. He lacks the explosiveness of his earlier years, and would not be that deep threat we're looking for. Someone like Mike Wallace is a 100% burner and 3 years younger. True deep threat. Jennings plays comfortably in the slot, and Percy or Jarius will be that guy next year. Jennings gets simply no separation against CBs on the outside. We've all been a little awe-struck because he has done some spectacular things against the Vikings. There have been some jaw-dropping catches. But take it from a guy who has had him on my fantasy team for 2 years in a row now: he's not the same Jennings and it's frustrating to watch him play. There's a real reason GB is letting him walk.

Jennings gets plenty of separation on the outside. His game was never really "explosion"

He ran in the low 4.4's which is still pretty good, but he's been the quicker than fast type of receiver that runs good routes. That's how he gains separation. I will give you that he looks best in the slot.

The real reason(s) that GB is letting him walk is because he's going to command a decent payday and they have things called Nelson, Jones, and Cobb._________________2017 Aggregate Draft Board
